You're results are amazing. Well done. Thanks for sharing your pics!

Record it as Circuit Training! I'm on Day 8 - Level 2 and feeling stronger! It's a great challenge. DON'T GIVE UP!!!

Thanks Oliveoil! Yeah I'd love to know how everyone is doing on MFP? How long have you been here and if you are happy with your results? It's only been about a month for me and I lost the first week and then nothing!!!!! I thought it would be easier to lose weight than this. I have been doing Weight watchers for a long…

I stayed the same again Grrrrrr

Not everyone thinks that beauty is external. So find people who see you and the wonderful qualities that you have. The external changes and ages, but the beauty within develops and grows even more.

You are beautiful! What exercise did you do and how often? Also did you eat the exercise calories you earned? Any help would be great!

Hey I'm in Sydney! If you go to the 'Groups' section of this site, you will see an Aussie Group with posts from many others. We are not alone!!!!

If you ate a piece of fruit everytime you felt like something sweet, then you will learn to crave that too. It takes a few weeks to establish this habit. Processed foods will certainly not help our weightloss efforts. If I start the day with something sweet then I want something sweet throughout the day! So I've started…

And I agree with the above post. Both cardio and strength training will help you lose weight. Strength training is the reason men lose more weight than women! Cardio alone won't do it as quickly.

I always weigh more the morning after a good exercise session. It's because our bodies retain water to repair muscles. Why don't you just weigh yourself once a week instead of being dissapointed every morning? You aren't doing anything wrong. Keep eating well and exercising. It will pay off!

Don't live in fear. Get a full medical once a year and live life to the fullest.

I've timed it and with the warm up and cool down it's 27 mins! You can't say we aren't losing calories with the warm ups. 1 minute in to level 2 and we are doing jumping jacks!!!

It's about music! Get some fast pumpy music you like (or Rock) and it will urge you on! I prefer cycling to running, so maybe running isn't for you? But I do run and the more I do it, the easier it becomes. You won't know what people love about running till you get there and that takes dedication and determination. Take…

Fresh Dates! I love 'em.

I noticed the same thing. I eat an apple and two fresh dates and I'm over for the day!!! I thought I'd be over on carbs but no, it's sugars! There are nice sugar free yogurts you can get, so I've switched to those. I've also noticed that I earn extra sugars if I exercise, so that's one way to even things out.

Yep, I had been putting 30DS as 'circuit training'! Thanks for posting.

Why don't you eat dinner earlier and then go to bed an hour or 2 afterwards? I eat early (around 6pm) with my kids and then I'm in bed by 10pm. Sometimes I work out after dinner but mostly it's morning or during the day. I do go to bed hungry sometimes, but I get a better number on the scale like that so it doesn't bother…

Go see a doctor because this isn't normal. Most of us are here because stress made us eat. I wish that wasn't the case! So please, just go talk with someone, a doctor, social worker, otherwise you won't be able to get back into a routine of eating and thinking well. It is most certainly psychological.

Hi there, I do the dvd in addition to what else I was doing (riding, walking, running). It is a challenge so stick with it! At the start, you'll feel it making your shoulders stronger as you've already been using your legs with your stationary bike. Although your calves will feel it on day 2 and 3 too!

Oh boy, reading your posts have confused me, so no wonder your confused. I don't get the nett thing. If MFP says I should have 1200 a day and then I earn an extra 400 from exercise then I obviously can eat 1600 that day. If I don't exercise then I can only have the standard 1200. What is confusing about that???

I stayed the same as last week :sad: I exercised, ate well. Maybe I didn't eat as much as I should have?? That's the only thing I can think of - weird! Thanks Oliveoil for doing the results each week!

Yes I lost a centremetre off my neck since starting - as if that's where I want it to go from!!!!!! I suppose everyone missed the post from aimeeturner on page 2 of this post????? She emailed the Julian Michaels office and they said it is supposed to be 30 days consecutively!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very glad to hear this as I'm on Day 8 - Level 2 and I'm sore from yesterday. Whats with those plank jumps!!!!??! It will be nice to do something different today!

No, but they will kill you slowly. Why don't you just drink poison - it's the same thing to your body. Slow death!

Now to the religious issue - having faith in God doesn't mean you can't be on the pill! Nor does it mean that you should have 10 children because you don't want to take birth control. There is no scripture in the Bible to back up the lack of support for birth control. Some man came up with the idea that God doesn't want us…

At 15 I went and got it from the Family clinic myself (I lied and said I was 16 to get it). So if your daughter is asking for it, that's great or if she has opened up to you about it, that's even better. I could never have talked to my mother about it! Go with her. You are better off keeping her from pregancy than feeling…

People start telling me 'you look nice today' and when I'm wearing the clothes the bike riders from the Tour de France wear when I'm riding my bike (without rolls). That's my aim!

I still cycle, walk and run, like I did before, but I've added the 30 Day Shred DVD into my daily routine. I'm up to Day 7 Level 1 and I haven't missed any days. I don't see why you can't do it twice in one day!

Thank you!

I'm only tired now after exercise because I'm in my 40's. I never felt it after working out when I was younger.
